NECK SCARF Filed Feb. 9, 1948 IN VEN TOR.

Patented Feb. 22, 1949 UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE NECK SCARF Patricia G. Danelz, Minneapolis, Minn.

Application February 9, 1948, Serial No. 7,187

Claims.

My invention relates to improvements in neckwear and, more particularly, to a neck scarf.

The principal objects of this invention are to provide a neck scarf which can be quickly and easily applied and secured, around the neck of a person, without tying and hence is less bunchy than a tied scarf which does not interfere with the proper fit of the collar of an outer garment, and which will not loosen, hence providing the desired protection to the wearer.

Another object of this invention is to provide a neck scarf which is reversible, thereby doubling the wear of the scarf.

Still another object of this invention is to provide a neck scarf in which the terminals thereof are tabs that stand out straight, when the scarf is worn, and thus gives the scarf a smart and pleasing appearance.

Other objects of this invention will be apparent from the following description, reference being had to the drawing.

To the above end, generally stated, the invention consists of the novel shape and arrangement hereinafter described and defined in the claims.

In the accompanying drawing, which illustrates the invention, like characters indicate like parts throughout the several views.

Referring to the drawing:

Fig. 1 is a view showing the improved neck scarf applied around the neck of a child;

Fig. 2 is an enlarged perspective view of the neck scarf;

Fig. 3 is a view of the neck scarf spread out flat; and

Fig. 4 is a fragmentary detail View in section taken on the lines 4-4 of Fig. 3, on an enlarged scale.

Preferably, but not necessarily, my improved neck scarf is a knitted fabric and will thus be described.

The improved scarf comprises a relatively long body member 5 having at each end a pointed tab 6. This body member 5 and the tabs 6 are, as shown, connected on each side of the scarf by a ribbing 1. The ribbings 1 are relatively narrow and contract the connected end portions of the body member 5 and the tabs 6. These ribbings l and the contracted portions of the body member 5 and the tabs 6 form in each end portion of the scarf a pair of opposing deep scallops 8.

The ribbings l of each pair are independent and separate, the one from the other, and leave therebetween in the scarf a transverse slot or passageway 9 in the plane of the scarf through which the tab 6, at the opposite end of the scarf, may be tucked to interlock the pair of ribbings 1 and thus connect the end portions of the scarf.

Obviously, the deep scallops 8 securely hold the interlocked pairs of ribbings i from relative slipping so that the scarf always remains as first applied around the neck of the wearer. The pointed ends of the tabs 6, in addition to improving the appearance of the scarf, facilitate the tucking of either one of the tabs 5 through the passageway 9 at the opposite end of the scarf.

When the scarf is applied around the neck of the wearer, and the pairs of ribbings I interlocked, the tabs 5 remain flat and project straight outwardly in diverging relation. It will, of course, be understood that the improved scarf will, in actual production, be made in various different sizes for children or adults.

While the improved scarf is shown and described as formed of a, knitted fabric, it may be made of any other suitable fabric.

What I claim is:

1. In a neck scarf, a body member having terminal tabs, said scarf between the body member and each tab having a transverse passageway in the plane of the scarf through which the tab at the other end of the scarf may be tucked.

2. In a neck scarf, a body member having terminal tabs, said scarf between the body member and each tab being transversely contracted and having a passageway in the plane of the scarf through which the tab at the other end of the scarf may be tucked.

3. In a neck scarf, 9. body member having terminal tabs, said scarf between the body member and each tab having a pair of deep opposing scallops and a passageway extending from one scallop to the other through which the tab at the other end of the scarf may be tucked.

4. The structure defined in claim 3 in which the tabs are pointed.

5. In a neck scarf, a body member, terminal tabs, ribbing on each side of the scarf connecting each tab to the body member, said ribbing being materially narrower than the body member and the tabs and holding the connected portions thereof contracted, forming between each end portion of the body member and the respective tab a pair of deep opposing scallops, and a passageway between the ribbings on the sides of the scarf at each tab through which the tab at the other end of the scarf may be tucked.
